To me, the guy was admitted to a psychiatric facility. There are some courts who usually revoke gun privileges after such an event occurs. This may be a backlog of the court system or not enough financing of sheriff's departments to revoke guns or maybe a need for a law that says if you were in a psychiatric facility you should have your gun rights removed. But I think if we ban all the guns, then only power hungry people who act as fascists would have them, and that's a dangerous situation. I also was mad about the Supreme Court's decision and the Bush Administration, but I don't think we need to then reciprocate by saying, well, if you remove our Constitutional rights, then we will too! This type pf tragedy has happened before, unfortunately, and will likely happen again. Could someone, anyone, have paid any attention to someone screaming for help, albeit silently? Maybe that's how "we" could have stopped this tragedy. Just my $0.02, for what they're worth. I don’t agree with the idea of banning guns, but I, too, am sick of hearing about it.
